Can't view certain files/movies
I'm having difficulty viewing movies (Netflix) and viewing PDF files. Trying to do research and nothing will come up on my screen when I click the file. A message saying "Plug-in Failure" keeps coming up. Tried restarting my computer, but I don't know what to do?
Sorry it says "missing plug-in" too

Since I have Yosemite on my iMac I can't view PDF files in Safari anymore. It keeps telling me to upgrade my Adobe Reader, but it is the latest version. Please help? I don't have this problem on my Macbook that does not have Yosemite installed.
Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
Step 1
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print or save PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to do so by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar should appear under the cursor. Click the printer or disk icon.
Step 2
There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
Step 3
If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
and check the box marked
Allow Plug-ins
Then click
Manage Website Settings...
and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
Step 4
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return.
From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
Step 5
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others—I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
Step 6
Do as in Step 4 with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari. -
How can clients view video file that I upload to my Creative Cloud area?
How can clients view video files that I upload to my Creative Cloud area? Is there a special password that they have to use to gain access?
Thanks for any guidance.
DaveAs a video professional, i agree and am VERY disappointed with this policy. I attended CC presentations at various conventions, film festivals and meetups for a year-and-a-half before I made the leap to CC, and no one EVER mentioned a restriction to transferring video files.
Whether it's to save storage space or not, that's how it APPEARS to the end user. Anybody who knows ANYthing about how video pirates commit their crime (which it most-certainly is), knows that there are plenty of FREE, untraceable (or nearly-anonymous) resources to carry it out. The need for anyone to pay $30 or more per-month to do it with an acct that has their info attached to it is ludicrous! If anything it's CONTRIBUTING to piracy to encourage creatives to transfer their material to collaborative parties using a less-secure, more heavily-trafficked third-party service than the one they're paying for exclusive use for.
Adobe's policy makers need to review this restriction and remove it or provide ANOTHER reason why it exists because this one doesn't fly. And if it continues, make sure a disclaimer gets inserted in CC pitch presentations because likely half of the attendees are working with video. -
My iPhone 4 with iOS 6 is making me start to hate Apple. Any App and at any time I open and I can not view it or move for more than 2 minutes, they close themselves. During connections, it also gives this problem and the signal disappears after a few seconds back but often the person on the other end has hung up ... I can not stand it anymore, someone suggests something?
Besides these problems, there is the battery, which was bad got worse, she is not lasting more than 10 hours, even without using the phone.
Sometimes it even seems that the problem was solved, but my joy did not last long after I celebrate all the problems return, is incredible ...
thanks.
Sorry my bad Inglês.Try a reset hold home/sleep buttons until Apple logo appears
If that does not improve try a restore

How do I find out who my administrator is and why I can't view certain things and get error 401 says i am an unauthorized user
It is a small business which doesn't make sense why I shouldn't be able to access certain pages on the Internet
I believe my husband is the administrator actually
Plus 404 and 403If you are referencing a specific web site, there is no way to determine who is set up as administrator. Contact the web site directly.

P.S. As a note, you already received an answer to your "401" question. Please do not rephrase a question and post it again. We are volunteers here and do not like to answer something that has already been addressed.

Can I view photos and movies from my external hard drive? I used Time Machine and a WD Passport for backup. Since my drive on my MacBook Pro is filling up I was planning to delete some of the movies and photos. I wanted to see if I could view them from the hard drive. Thanks
Hello, eco1.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
This sounds like you are wanting to move your iTunes media folder to an external drive and have iTunes this folder from this location. If this is the case then I would recommend taking a look at the article below.

Can't view pdf files in gmail (OS 5.01)
Since I have installed OS 5.1 I can't view pdf files in my gmail account. I can view them on yahoo (same email) or with the previous OS. I just download 5.01 a week ago so I am not sure if I missed something for settings or if I need to change something because my search has not discovered anyone else having an issue.
Thanks!Yes, I can view emails it is the PDF files I can't download or view. In OS 4 I could touch the attachment and it would open up, now when I touch the attachment it just tries to download. This is for all PDF files in gmail.

After downloading a pdf from a website, how can I view the file in Safari 6.0.4 (just as I can in Safari 5.0.6)? I bet that it's simple, but I've missed something, somewhere, and a solution will be greatly appreciated.
Hello Kirk,
Thank's for your efforts, and I just wish that this was the solution. Unfortunately, it isn't because, after double-clicking on the pdf in the website, it simply "opens" in another Safari window as a black screen - the pdf is there, somewhere, but not visible (either as an icon, or as a document).
When I right-click in the black Safari window, where the file is supposed to be, the only option available to display the file is to "Open file in Internet Explorer" (which is not what I want to do). Other options include saving or printing the pdf, which I don't want until I've confirmed that it's the form that I want. The same options are offered if I right-click on the file icon in the website.
Any other suggestions, please? -
My guitar instructor shoots a short video (usually 5min or less) at the end of every lesson to help me review what we learned. While these DVDs play just fine on my iMac, I'd like to copy them sometimes over to my iPad so I can view them when I'm travelling. I can handle copying them over to my iPad, but have run into a major stumbling block:
When I open the double click the DVD on my desktop, it opens a Finder window. (Good so far!). But, the Finder window is empty (not so good!). It shows zero items in the status bar. Obviously, there are files there, as the DVD plays just fine...I'm just not able to view them.
Any idea what I need to do in order to view the contents of the disk in order to convert the video over to my iPad?
I'm attaching a couple of files so you can see what I'm seeing:
The above Finder window is what I see after double clicking the DVD on my desktop.
When I Get Info about the DVD, I see the below information:
Any idea what's going on, and what I need to do?Barny,
Thanks...I must be getting old! I'd tried a couple of DVD ripping software apps I had laying around, and neither worked. Thinking there must be something else I need to do, I posted this question.
After reading your answer, I went back and looked (closer!) at my applications, and realized I'd forgotten all about RipIt. I launched Ripit, and it was able to rip the DVD (and compress it for playback on my iPad) with no problem.
It's still disconcerting that I can't view any files on the DVD in the Finder, but it is what it is, I guess.
Thanks again for jogging my memory! -

I'm new to the Apple products. How can I view pdf files and videos since Apple and Adobe don't play together? Also, what operating system does the iPhone use? I'm a Windows person.
You may want to download and read the manual for your phone. It may answer a lot of the basic questions.

There is an app on your phone called "Mail". Yes, it's for reading your email.
Best of luck. -
Can I view .WMV files with 10.7?
Can I view .wmv files with OS 10.7.2?
Mac OS X has no native ability to view WMV files, but you can download and install the free codecs from Flip4Mac:

and use QuickTime Player. Note that not all WMV codecs have been ported to Mac, nor has the copy protection system, so not all videos will work.
